The Playmobil figures are based on the characters from the movie Ghostbusters which was released in 1984 - AKA SOS Fantômes in France.

The main actors were owning the copyright of the Ghostbusters characters and sold the rights in 2014 when Harold Ramis died (according to Wikipedia).

There is also a UK comedy called The Ghost Busters created by Filmation. Filmation created a cartoon after the success of the movie Ghostbusters.

I remember seing the Filmation cartoon series on German television. The Filmation productions features a Gorilla called Tracy.

When I saw the cartoon, I did not know about the UK comedy series. I simply thought that they replaced the role of Winston Zeddemore played by the Afro-America Ernie Hudson with a Gorilla and considered that racist.

If the cartoon or episode includes Gorilla Tracy, you are watching with a Filmation production.

The „Ghost Buggy“ from the Filmation cartoon series would be a nice car, too.
